Curah! has a very specific purpose: to help people searching in Google or Bing find annotated collections of great content that specifically target common user questions.
We’ve all been there before, typing in a search query and then hunting and clicking through pages of search results wondering where the good stuff is, what’s reputable, what’s appropriate, what’s current. A Curah! page takes the guesswork out of this process because it has been hand-selected and annotated by industry experts.

Now that I’m done with the whole video series, I have some updates, thoughts and asks that I’d like to share with you.

Updates: I’ve updated the YouTube Playlist and reordered the videos so that the whole series makes more sense for those who are not that familiar with Visual Studio ALM.

Asks: I’ve received many messages through email, Facebook & Twitter from non-Arabic speakers asking for the same series in English; some asked for a series of blog posts while others asked for videos in the same way I created the Arabic ones. I’d like to gather more feedback about this, what would you like to see ?

By using SPDisposeCheck from within your Code Analysis, you can avoid any future memory leaks that might occur because your developers didn’t properly dispose the SharePoint API objects. You can even prevent bad code from entering your Source Control system by creating a check-in policy that performs Static Code Analysis and spot any issues earlier.

I have created a video that explains the setup steps and shows you a quick example. You can watch it here.

As mentioned in the previous video, you can create a build-deploy-test workflow using Visual Studio 2012 to deploy and test your SharePoint Applications when you run a build. This lets you schedule and run the build, deployment, and testing of your SharePoint application with one build process. Build-deploy-test workflows work with Lab Management to deploy your applications to a lab environment and run tests on them as part of the build process. You can watch a detailed video for the whole process here.

In today’s video, I’ll show you how to execute the Automated Test from Microsoft Test Manager 2012 in the same way we executed a Manual Test. You can watch the video here.

When you run automated tests in Microsoft Test Manager, you must run them in a lab environment. To run automated tests in a lab environment, you must associate your automated tests with test cases, and then add the test cases to a test suite in a test plan.

This video is part of the SharePoint Testing & Troubleshooting Arabic Video Series.
In today’s video, you will learn how to do Exploratory Testing for your SharePoint solutions using Microsoft Test Manager 2012. You will learn about how exploratory testing (also called XT, or agile testing) has become a first-class experience in the toolset. This allows a tester to more flexibly test the underlying SharePoint Application without relying solely on formal test cases. Meanwhile, Microsoft Test Manager will continue to capture rich diagnostics about the application being tested which can be delivered to the development team if a bug is discovered. You can watch the video from here.
